[Morio_Kitsune]

---

Morio tiredly gets back to the Den of Sin, slowly climbing the stairs to the room he is renting, it had been a busy day and night. Upon entering the room he noticed that Haydn had made a kind of basket with the beding, she was curled up in Kitsune form, her sleep appeared to be that deep that she didn't stir when he entered the room. Sighing to himself he went about removing his armour as noiselessly as possible and dressed up the armour doll in it, once out of the armour he lounges in the chair. Though he was physically tired and feeling particually drained he had enough energy within himself to at least move and maybe shift form a couple of times. Placing down the skull he uses as an external energy supply he noted the power within, thinking to himself...
"I wager that there is more then four times the power used to fuse the Warmasters eye stored in there now..."

Thinking of the Warmaster he recalled the conversation he had with him, Haydn too was there, and chuckling to himself because he had been fearful that the meeting could of gone very sour, even Haydn thought it might have...

"Well we hve his approval to be bonded to one another, his only request was to stay loyal to Umbra and to remember that both of us are also soldiers in the Umbran Military, well that of course is to be expected, and he wasn't even surprised about our choice... how did he put it..... There is only Three Kitsune outside of the Tokunese Isles, one being your father Haydn and the others being yourselves I was expecting it to happen sooner or later...."
Chuckling to himself again thinking that he had only just joined Sanctus and was barely a member of the Kingdom before he had meet Haydn... it was that first night that they had bedded each other....
"The worrying thing though is that Haydn seems to have a bond with a length of the Harrowers tentical, everytime she kills the thing gets stronger... How did the Warmaster put it when she had left... Keep an eye on her and stop her from killing.... well of course that is a must.... its the only reason why I have been feeding so much from the population at Britain Bank, One we need as much power as we can get for the Bonding ritual, Two I am hoping that with enough power the ritual itself can break the Bond between the Tentical and Haydn."
Sighing once more he gets up from the chair and shifts form, padding along to the bed he lightly gets in it and settles down around the curled up form of Haydn. Licking the top of her head between he ears lighty a couple of times he again sighs with contentment. Not only thinking to himself that he is the luckiest Kitsune in the world but being with her has lifted a hugh chunk of guilt and self pity from his heart from that fateful day where he slayed that cub by acciedent. Resting his head across her shoulders lightly he closes his eyes and allowed sleep to swallow him so completely....

Haydn awoke to find Morio curled around her. She lay there, unable to return to sleep so easily. Her mind was flooded with thoughts.

She had thought for certain that their bonding would be denied. She was relieved that her brother had given his blessing. It had come as a surprise. Like the surprise she had lain at their feet by explaining about the tentacle.

I hope Morio is right

She hoped it would be strong enough to free herself from the hideous thing. But, she knew a fear that it would only bind itself to Morio through her. She would hate to be responsible for enslaving him, even if it was accidental.

Morio's sleeping face appeared peaceful, as if he wasn't having any of his nightmares for the moment. She hoped he would never have the type of dreams she had endured. The memories she had of awakening covered in blood lingered still in her mind, fresh.

As she once more drifted back to sleep, a dream of a different nature came to her. In this dream, foxes leaped and played. No, those weren't foxes, they were kitsune.

Again Morio is sitting crossed legged out side the Bank on the west side of Britain. The traders had by this point ignored him since he had threaterned that last trader with his cross bow if he did not leave the Kitsune alone. Morio had two skulls sitting in front of him, and a third chained to his belt, the one his belt was glowing very brightly and gave off a hum of great power for those who had sences enough to notice, already he had fulled the skull with so much power that it could not contain more and instead of filling the skull it stayed within the Kitsune, he had only just noticed that it wasn't going into the skull in time to stop feeding and find two more, had he continued he would have been consumed by the power and flare out of exsistance.

Though the traders had gotten used to seeing morio sitting there a trio of people made their way through the crowd, two wearing the shining plate armour of the Guards of Britian, the other wearing a robe and hat that marked him as a member of one of the Mage Guilds that was in Britain.
Paying them no attention Morio shut his eyes and tried to increase the flow of power into the skulls....
"Oi mister, I'm speakin' ta ya!" spoke the younger of the two guards.
Morio opened his eyes again and just said one word. "Hai?"
The two guards looked at one another then back to the mage.
"A complaint has been made to the guards about a human sitting here with a potentially dangerous artifact..."
"Not just one but now three!" yelled the mage.
"They are only dangerous if one doesn't know what one is doing... fortunately I do...."
The guards was slightly taken aback by this statement and turned to the mage.
"This is your area of expertise is it not, You say its magical and dangerous but do you know what it is? do you even know what it is that he is doing?" the older of the guards said.
"Well I..... it is dangerous, I don't know exactly what he is doing or even how he is increasing the power levels in the skulls, but that is besides the point..."
"Do not even pretend to speak of things you do not understand Human."
The guards and the mage looked mystified at the human coment.
The younger guard broke the silence first...
"What's he mean by calling you human? he's human isn't he... he looks it."
"Aye he does but in this line of work lad looks can be decieving, he called the mage it cause he proberly isn't human..."
"Then what is he if he isn't human? his ears arnt pointed so he isn't elf kind..."
"Now now lad, it rude to ask that if he won't tell us then we can't arrest him for that, and it looks like he knows what he is doing and he has been doing it for a couple of days now and no harm has come of it."
"But where is the power coming from?" interupted the mage.
"What I am doing is not a consern of yours mage, if the guards see no harm then don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong."

Angerly the mage strode off the guards some followed leaving morio alone again, Morio had noticed that he confrontation with guards had added yet more power and so directed it to the skulls...

--------

By night fall the bank was nearly empty of people, Morio uncrossed his legs and stood, his right leg had gone very numb and he limped about in a circle till feeling returned, sighing and hearing his stomach grumbling he headed to the nearest tavern, it was busy.
Making his way to the only empty table a pretty young lass approached and asked if he wanted anything,
"Just a pitcher of water and the biggest stake you got..."
"How would you like it cooking cutey?" She winked as she said it and smiled brightly.
"Oh as lightly as posible, and maybe a small loaf of bread too"

With that she went off, waiting for his meal Morio just looked around at the revalers, within minutes she returned ad set the food and drink on the table.
"Is there anythink else that you would like?"
At this point she had bent down some and showed Morio some of he quite ample cleavage and winked at him again.
Chuckling he replied, "No, but I really do appreciate the offer."
With that she sulked off, leaving Morio to eat....

[Nyxanna ab'Arawn]

Nyxanna spun in front of her father the soft dress swirling with her joy. The war temple seemed to light up and she was happy to see a smile appear on the ussually stern face of her father. The little mage, as she was not young in years but quite small in frame was a gleam in her fathers eye. Ever loyal joyful and caring, yes even in the darkness of umbra Nyxanna was a shining star.

Native born she loved her homeland and her bright white hair and resemblance to the Matriarch clearly spoke ab'Arawn. Nyxanna loved all her grandparents save one, and she was only happier when family was near. Today she wore smooth green snakeskin boots and a matching green apron. Shades to be exact and she proudly displayed them for her father. Yet, dont be fooled, Nyxy was not vain at all, but crafty. Her real purpose, as she plied him with questions, was to check on her father and his eye. Though she would never tell him this. He would grow surly at even the mention of a bit of weakness and she couldnt blame him.

Nyxy was used to strong proud men, her grandfather near the same but far wiser sometimes then her father. She doted on them incessantly. She had taken up mage training and every day her skills as a mage improved under the careful guidance of her new teacher, the sagemaster. She would do whatever was asked of her by Umbra...

Yet for all the trials she suffered, you could not knock the love and joy from her heart which she would retain till her dying breath...
******************************************************
Her eyes lit up when Haydn entered they had shared a room as young pups and Haydn had been like a big sister at times to her. So she was overjoyed to see her older sister. She hugged her tightly and got a slight hug back but she could see the concern on her face. She felt it eminating in waves towards her father.

She sat, and pondered what rift laid between these two and decided it was words left unspoken. Ultimately her father gave blessing much to Haydn and Morio's surprise to their bonding. Yet why shouldnt he, he was a reasonable man..most... of the ......time..... Except when it perhaps came to suitors for Nyxy......

She shook her head letting that thought fall away and found that it was just as well she wasnt interested in marriage or bonding of any sort...anyhow..

Yet the tentacle hitting the table was quite the shock as Haydn brought up her next issue. Nyxanna not recognizing it at first, had her hand slapped away from a deadly touch of it. It was indeed the tentacle of the Harrower but she pondered that her fathers knowledge of this item seemed much greater than expected.

I was there for its creation.... She froze, she knew what and who the Harrower was and Ceinwyn pounded the history deep in her head. Dread filled her as she stared at the item that ruined civilizations and swallowed hard looking at her father who had spoken those words..

He had been there? He had followed... Khal Ankur? She looked at her father and after a time..she spoke...
Why father, your evil.... Peals of laughter followed her statement...

Dawn was just breaking while Morio left the Den of Sin, Padding along at a steady pace up the road towards luna, he needed something to eat, he past the brigands and the Orcs with no trouble, making his way through the cave and bridge system into the kingdom of Sanctus, leaving the road and heading west into the woods he transformed into human form, crossbow already loaded... The hunt was on....

As soon as the first twinkling was heard he silently stalked his prey, there hovering near a branch of the tree was his breakfast, pulling on the trigger the bolt shot forward and hit its mark. The pixie died instantly, picking it up he loaded the crossbow again and went in search of more, after about ten minutes of careful stalking he had bagged ten pixies, wrapping them up and placing them in his pack he continued on to luna, eating as he walked.

Once reaching Luna he looked at some of the shops but did not stop to buy anything, he was near his goal and nothing would stop him to reach it. After walking another couple of hundred paces he had reached his goal, the Luna Moongate, stepping through it he thought with all his might of his destination, Britian...

Shifting form he sprited towards the town, by now he belatidly thought that he had just eaten and spriting on a full stomach was not the best of ideas. Slowing down to a walk he soon reached the west side entrance, the song birds was out in force, the night shift guards walking back to the barracks yawning as they went. Getting to the bank he noticed some traders there just about to set up there stalls, but also that mage from yesterday was there, he was standing in a small knot of others all dressed in the same manner. Morio looked about to see if there was someone who had knowledge of taming beasts...
He spotted one, a cu sidhe was following her, making sure that no one was looking his was he walked to the cu and followed just behind it, luckly the tamer had stopped near the mages. He sat and listend carefully to what they was saying....

"Your sure he called you Human like in a way that an elf would?" one of the older mages spoke.
"Aye, he also told me to keep my nose out of things I don't understand... what is strange is that he is late today, everyday for the past week or so he has been here...."
"Maybe he had completed everything he had set out to do." One chipped in...
"Nay... the one on his belt had more power then the other two, he would want to fill them.... do you sence that?..."
The others closed there eyes, then looked at Morio. One of them shook their head.
"It can't be, it is just a Tokunese Fox, just a simple stupid animal..."
"But the power is coming from it..."
"Nay, proberly just something in the bank, you know what people put in their boxes and the power that they emit...."
"Proberly right... well he isn't showing lets go, we proberly won't see him again at any rate."
With that the mages walked off, the tamer also moved off and Morio followed untill he reached an ally, then slipped down it.
"Idiot, you have become to predictable.. best go to another bank or market square out of Britain....."
Thinking to himself he settled for Moonglow and headed once more to the Moongate.....
